- rhizome 16y agoWith Dummynet, FreeBSD can simulate any kind of connection you can think of. Latency, packetloss, the whole schmear, available in bootable ISO form. http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/ http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/dummynet/
- shaddi 16y agoI've used Dummynet extensively (with great satisfaction!), but I've been looking for a more recently updated alternative (preferably with good Linux support). Is anyone aware of any such thing?
- cperciva 16y agoThe most recent commit to the dummynet source code was 5 days ago. Are you sure you need a more recently updated alternative?
- Sukotto 16y agoWhere do you see that? On the page linked in the GP the most recent revision is dated 2010-03-19 Do I just not see the link to the repo or is there another project page someplace?
- absconditus 16y agoWhy is less than a year too long? Is dummynet missing functionality?
- cperciva 16y agoLuigi is a FreeBSD committer and works in the FreeBSD tree. That's where you'll find the most up-to-date dummynet code.
- shaddi 16y agoAlright, I'm an idiot. For some reason I had it in my head that development had ceased a couple years ago. Thanks for the info.
